Jaren, Bane & Kennard lead Grizz over Pels 139-126
Two NBA teams on different paths will face off Saturday night in Memphis. The Memphis Grizzlies are on a roll, having won five straight with a 139-126 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday.
The Grizzlies have upgraded Kennard from probable to available with an ankle injury Wednesday, making this an expected update. Across his last nine appearances for Memphis, the veteran sharpshooter has averaged 11.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.3 threes while shooting a sizzling 51.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant was added to the injury report on Friday morning. Morant is questionable to play against the New Orleans Pelicans due to an illness. Morant has missed 18 games this season while dealing with a string of injuries.
Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 15 of his 29 points in the third quarter, Desmond Bane had 20 points and 14 assists and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the New Orleans Pelicans 139-126 on Friday night.
Since the beginning of January and ahead of Monday’s matchup against the New York Knicks, the Grizzlies have gone 8-4 and have posted a .667 winning percentage, the seventh-best mark in The Association, even though Morant has been available for only seven contests in that stretch.
After a stretch of 11 games against playoff contenders in the Western Conference, the Grizzlies took care of business relatively easy against the Charlotte Hornets. Hot shooting from Luke Kennard and strong defense against Hornets star LaMelo lifted Memphis to a 132-120 win inside FedExForum.
Kennard (ankle) has been listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets. Kennard dealt with his fair share of injuries earlier in the season but has played in the last seven games for Memphis despite dealing with some ankle soreness.
There's no scenario where Jimmy Butler does not leave the Miami Heat. There's also no scenario where he lands with the Charlotte Hornets, but that doesn't mean
The Golden State Warriors have until next Thursday to make a splash on the trade market. The organization could swap a four-time NBA champion and beloved forward for an ex-Los Angeles Lakers phenomenon in a potential season-altering move.
